Mike McCarthy = culture change in Frisco

[DuncanIso]

Remember Nolan? Big Mikes buddy. Who ran the defense in 20?

notice how big Mike didn’t get to pick his replacement.

 

[JBond]

Tag me to the post where I make that claim. You are the textbook Dak jock sniffing troll.
I guess I'm about to get benched like the last time you wanted to tangle with me.

Hey bro, can't we all just along? Lol.

 

[CowboyRoy]

You realize this makes zero sense, right?

Makes complete sense. Just doesn’t fit your narrative.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

He's our best HC we've had since Parcells.

 

[Sully]

The culture is still there as long as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum are still there

Until this franchise can get to a darn NFC Conference game --in 27 years--- all the regular season smoke will be just that.

 

[CouchCoach]

am i the only one that Liked Barry Switzer?

Those that don't think he could coach don't know, he was an excellent coach but the emphasis is on "was". He didn't want to coach again and it showed. He particularly didn't want to coach pro athletes. He thought something happened to them when they turned pro, some magic maturity phase. Same kids, just getting paid. Those players needed more discipline than his rogues at OU.

 

[CouchCoach]

I don't think McC established any culture change as no HC since Parcells has had the privilege of doing that and even he struggled toward the end.

When Phillips asked to increase fines because players were tardy or even missing meetings and was turned down, that told me all I needed to know about culture. And I do not think the owner has learned anything or changed because he's all about the promotional side of it.

The Cowboys are nothing but the vehicle he uses to ride to the interviews in. They are what he wants them to be.

Quinn is the reason for the seasons
If he leaves, it won't end well next year

Yeah. Not sure of actual HC contribution to Rush's run of success either. Im never sure of his actual contribution to anything. Moore should be praised for the job the offense accomplished with Rush. Of course Quinn gets the kudos for the earlier season defensive dominance. It's a coordinator driven team of which McCheese is the title holder of head coach only.

You won't hear Sunday quotes from opponents saying McCarthy "outcoached" anyone.
I still question his actual input to any of the 3 phases. Well, besides the stellar clock management and sometimes questionable 4th down decisions. His basic understanding of situational awareness in real time as a head coach is dead even with his QB's level of understanding.

Not the 2 most cerebral guys leading your team at the 2 most important positions.
That ain't good.

Nah, he's right. You can't claim we would've had a winning seasin 2020 win we had a losing record before Dak got injured. Our defense sucked that year, the big part of us having 12 wins this season and last season is because the defense has been a huge factor

 

[Aven8]

Hopefully Mike is hoisting his second SB trophy in a month and becoming the first HC to win a SB with two teams breaking a 27 year drought to boot.

 

[BoysForLife]

I still don't see any tagging.

That said, this is an argument between you two, and I really don't want to get involved. So don't even read this post please.

Having said that, if ur going to accuse someone of saying something, you should really tag them. But I'm staying out of this

Bingo

Allegedly hardline makes this claim routinely

Yet Roy can't seem to find one single post to tag, saying what he claims hardline said

Classic distract and deflect

The modus operandi of the Dak Davidian

 

[BoysForLife]

Still waiting on that tag.

Don't let this go

These dak knob slobberers routinely accuse people of saying things they never said and then act like the accusation itself is proof of the alleged "crime" if they repeat it enough

Blatant dishonesty about another person's alleged statements deserves to be exposed

For the first time since the Barry Switzer era (joke), the Cowboys have back-to-back 10 win seasons. Under Jimmy Johnson, and his successor Switzer, the Cowboys ran off 6 consecutive double digit winning seasons from 1991 - 1996. Not even the great Bill Parcells managed that, and we all know Switzer did it with the momentum built by Johnson.

I think it is high time that Mike McCarthy starts getting more respect from the Cowboys fandom, and across the NFL. His reputation took a hit because of the narcissism of Aaron Rodgers. But he has proven he's a winner in Dallas, overcoming losing his starting QB this season to give the Cowboys fans back-to-back 12 win seasons. Maybe, just maybe, we can hope that this change in culture will lead to playoff success as it did for the last team to have back-to-back 12 win seasons (1994 & 1995) Those seasons ended in the NFC Championship game against the 49ers and a Super Bowl victory over the Steelers.

So we also have to give the same credit to Dak and Moore and Jerry and every other player and coach? It's not that simple and doesn't work that way. His poor time management and game day decisions (4th down decisions, closing out big leads, etc) have directly led to losses in his short time here. That is a huge part of how a head coach is judged and a huge red flag for him. He does do a good job of getting the players ready to play and the such and the players like him, but talent is IMO a bigger part of that stat than McCarthy's coaching. I'm sick of guys like Ochoa tweeting that or similar stats constantly and trying to attribute it as McCarthy being really good because the oversimplified attempt to pretend it's the case makes him sound like nothing other than a cheerleader with zero objectivity or credibility.

 

[Clove]

I've always liked Coaches with skins on the wall.

 

[Clove]

MM is a mediocre coach. He's been given all this talent, minus Middle of the pack Dak. He makes the worst crunch time decisions and his end of the game management is terrible.

Let's see him win some post season games in spite of his bad coaching.

He won a Super Bowl, does that count?

 

[75boyz]

He won a Super Bowl, does that count?

I mean I guess, Switzer did too.
lol

 

[Beaker42]

One game isn't a career. Maybe you should see what the Titans are giving up on the ground and how overrated the Cowboys offensive line is.
And I am a HUGE fan of Tony Pollard. I don't pit one against the other

We’d be a lock for the SB if we had TT’s DT’s.

I wholeheartedly agree that McCarthy deserves a ton of credit since being HC in Dallas. Throw out the COVID year (he also lost QB1 for the season early in 2020), and he has been very good.

He isn't without his warts (clock management issues, not reigning in the OC when needed, his team blowing double digit 4th quarter leads, etc.), but he is a heckuva coach and deserves respect.

Of course I can claim it. Makes total sense as next two years a similar squad had at least 12 wins.
